Maybe you stroked or tranced out for 2 days?

12 hours actually, and that's why I ask (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

tranced playing HV? that would be scary...

actually, I remember that this noon I was thinking that "If I got 6 shards each day it would take about 3 days to get my next soulfuse chance" and that was when I check it before doing an IW.

well... maybe I'm just a bit tired...

Step by step, you can do it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What is the normal block chance on shields? Did it change with the most recent update?

I thought it capped out around 33-35% based on the type of shield, but I just found a force shield with 38%.

Also, which would you say is better for a 1H Heavy Armor user?

Exquisite Mithril Kite Shield Of Warding or Exquisite Force Shield Of Deflection

Yep, it seems that block chance now has the potential to be a bit higher in 0.82.

http://ehwiki.org/wiki/Equipment_Ranges shows 0.81 values. Current max values are higher.

The force shield is much better. (Block is the most important stat for 1h, but also, low burden means less damage nerf if you go over 70 burden)

Scale it to your level. For me it's about 40-42.

The force shield is much better.

But it has high interference in contrast to buckler. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Effects of Interference

Every point of interference will have the following effect:
Reduces magical crit rate by 2%, capped at 100%.
Increases spell costs by 0.5%

Interference doesn't really matter, especially not now that unlimited Draughts are here.

Yeah, I almost forgot about that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Opinion requested: is this proficiency cap good enough to forge beyond Lv 5? It's not like I can sell it. Or should I hold out for something better?

I have never maged before, so I'm a bit confused.

Is holy = divine?

Hey guys I'd like to ask I got this rapier and this shield for 1h should I go with power of whatever suffix (I highly doubt I can get a cheap 0.81 power of slaughter set) or should I go with shade of whatever suffix?
Also which would be a good difficulty to start with 1h since I have 0 prof (I've been a mage since level 0) and should I just try to pay someone to iw the rapier for hollowforged with whatever other potencies it gets? I would do it myself but it will take forever since I can barely clear nightmare arenas with my mage set.
My main goal switching is just doing pfu arenas and pfu re eventually.

this rapier

Non-ethereal + PA chance is too low = crap IMO.

power of whatever suffix

Power of slaughter.

Also which would be a good difficulty to start with 1h since I have 0 prof

I dunno, try to find your golden mean by switchin the difficulty level.

I just try to pay someone to iw the rapier for hollowforged

Bad idea (I'm talking about the afore-referenced rapier).

Yes.

Non-ethereal is not that important anymore, because the burden barely matters and interference doesn't matter at all because of infinite draughts. The biggest problem is not being able to do holy/dark for SG arena, but that is only a bit slower. Plus low PA usually isn't that big a deal since the biggest chunk of procs actually come from crit strikes.

If you can't afford good slaughter you can always settle for ex-grade slaughter or go for mag/leg power of warding/protection. It's a bit worse ADB wise but makes up for it with higher PABs and defensive stats.

How so?

Every point of burden will have the following effect:
Reduces evade by 4/3%, capped at 75.
If burden > 40, decreases melee attack speed bonuses, capped at fully eliminating any bonus at 90.
If burden > 70, decreases physical crit rate by 2%, capped at 120.

Heavy armor has a sizable burden now add that rapier's value on (yeah-yeah, I know about featherweight charm, but still). Also, you'll have to enchant / maximize your non-ethereal rapier to get a void strike.

low PA usually isn't that big a deal

Buy some axe, then. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So I moved over to Chrome, finally got my shit together with regards to 1H+heavy and installed HVstat to

1) Show which enemies have the least HP and

2) Stop me if I'm running low on health (not foolproof, but it has already saved me dozens of times)

The only problem is, on every page reload the screen does this brief little "flash" before rendering the new content. Whereas Firefox seems to render everything at once when it's ready, with no transition period where you can see a blank screen. Is there some sort of browser-level config option to fix this? I know it seems like a minor thing, but it is really hurting my eyes quite a bit. Especially since I am trying to watch TV shows on the other half of my monitor simultaneously.

...and I learned something new today.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: consider switching to Iron v29 or Portable Chrome v31; See the discussion starting here for more details.

Thanks. Portable Iron v29 still had some flashing, but Chrome v31 does not. It was a pain to find though:
